FORT  HAYS  KANSAS  NORMAL  SCHOOL. 

SUMMER  SCHOOL  FOR  TEACHERS. 


INTRODUCTORY. 

Selection  of  a location  for  summer  study  should  occasion  in  one’s  mind 
certain  ideas  of  attractive  surroundings. 

Our  campus  can  offer  you  pleasant  woods  in  which  to  roam;  lakes  on 
whose  banks  hundreds  of  students  have  spent  many  happy  hours  in  profit- 
able study  and  in  the  company  of  joyous  comrades;  historic  spots  whose 
markers  are  silent  testimonials  of  the  boundless  optimism  and  manhood 
which  paved  the  way  for  us  and  made  Kansas  a state  unafraid. 

The  Summer  School  will  offer  special  lectures  on  Child  Welfare, 
Economic  Hygiene,  Boy  Scouts,  Parent-Teachers’  Organizations,  Play- 
ground Organizations,  Boys’  and  Girls’  Club  Work,  Home-life  Problems, 
Plays  and  Games,  Medical  Inspection,  Supervision,  and  Organization  of 
Primary  and  High-school  Curriculum. 

The  special  lectures  are  by  people  of  national  reputation  and  authori- 
ties in  their  lines  of  work. 

A general  fee  of  two  dollars  and  a half  and  a medical  fee  of  fifty 
cents  are  required  of  all  students  in  the  Summer  School. 


INFORMATION. 

The  New  Student. — The  new  student  on  arriving  at  Hays  City  should 
come  directly  to  the  Normal  School  office,  where  he  can  receive  the  infor- 
mation which  he  needs.  The  Normal  School  is  directly  west  from  the 
station,  and  is  easily  found.  On  page  3 is  the  calendar,  showing  the 
beginning  and  closing  of  the  terms  and  semesters.  It  is  very  desirable, 
where  possible,  for  students  to  enter  school  at  the  beginning  of  a 
term.  If  prospective  students  will  write,  stating  time  of  arrival,  they  will 
be  met  at  the  train. 

Board  and  Room. — The  Normal  School  maintains  a dining  hall,  where 
carefully  cooked  and  selected  meals  are  furnished  those  students  who  care 
t|o  board  at  the  hall.  This  board  costs  the  student  $3.00  per  week.  Board 
may  be  had  in  private  families,  if  students  choose,  at  about  $4  per  week. 
Rooms  are  to  be  had  in  private  families,  ranging  from  fifty  cents  to  one 
dollar  and  a half  per  week,  the  price  depending  upon  accommodations  and 
fixtures.  In  the  office  of  the  Normal  School  is  kept  an  up-to-date  list  of 
the  rooms,  their  location,  accommodations,  the  equipments  that  go  with 
the  rooms,  and  the  price  per  week.  It  is  a ruling  of  this  institution  that 
boys  and  girls  shall  room  in  separate  rooming  houses.  Special  cases, 
where  brothers  and  sisters  wish  to  move  to  town  and  set  up  light  house- 
keeping in  order  to  go  to  school,  must  be  reported  at  the  office.  The 
Normal  School  does  not  wish  to  work  a hardship  on  any  one;  it  wishes 
simply  to  keep  up  its  present  high  moral  tone.  This  ruling  only  conforms 
with  the  common  practice. 

Employment  for  Students. — The  office  keeps  a list  of  all  the  available 
places  of  employment  for  students.  The  Normal  School  divides  its  work- 
ing force  into  student  groups  in  order  to  furnish  employment.  The  great 
Fort  Hays  Experiment  Station  offers  opportunities  for  work.  Many  of 
our  students  are  working  their  way  through  school,  and  we  find  them

among  the  finest  students  we  have  in  the  institution.  The  student  who 
works  his  way  through  school  is  honored  just  as  much  in  this  institution 
as  the  student  who  is  able  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  his  studies. 

Requirements  for  Admission. — Any  man  or  woman  of  sufficient  ex- 
perience or  scholarship  may  be  admitted  to  the  secondary  school  of  the 
Normal  School.  Eighth-grade  graduates  may  be  admitted  on  presenta- 
tion of  certificate  of  graduation.  No  prospective  student  who  is  in  a local 
high-school  district  and  is  of  high-school  age  is  encouraged  to  come  to  this 
Normal  School  for  his  secondary  education. 

Special  Examinations. — Special  examinations  will  be  given  students 
for  advanced  standing  on  the  first  Monday  of  the  Summer  School  term. 
A fee  of  one  dollar  will  be  charged  for  each  subject. 

Advanced  Standing. — Students  wishing  advanced  standing  must 
make  application  to  the  advanced  standing  committee  the  first  week  of 
the  Summer  School  or  upon  day  of  enrollment. 

Nonresident  Fees. — Nonresidents  of  Kansas  will  pay,  in  addition  to 
other  fees,  a fee  of  $5,  payable  in  advance.  This  fee  will  not  be  refunded. 

The  School  Year. — The  school  year  is  made  up  of  the  nine  weeks’ 
Summer  School  and  the  two  regular  semesters.  Each  semester  is  divided 
into  two  terms  of  approximately  nine  weeks  each.  By  consulting  the 
calendar,  prospective  students  can  learn  the  exact  date  on  which  to  en- 
roll for  the  various  terms. 

How  to  Start  Work: — When  the  student  comes  to  the  Normal  School 
Tor  the  first  time,  he  should  present  himself  at  the  desk  of  the  registrar 
and  announce  the  fact  that  he  wishes  to  become  a student  in  the  Normal 
School.  The  registrar  will  see  that  the  proper  blanks  are  filled  out  and 
that  the  student  is  given  proper  direction  and  classification. 

Textbooks. — Bring  your  schoolbooks  with  you.  They  are  valuable. 
You  can  use  them  for  reference  in  many  of  your  classes. 

Subjects  to  Take. — The  subjects  should  be  selected  by  the  prospec- 
tive student  with  the  view  of  fitting  him  for  the  particular  work  he 
has  in  mind.  The  president  and  faculty  reserve  the  right,  when,  in  their 
judgment,  they  think  the  student  has  made  an  unwise  choice,  to  recom- 
mend to  him  selections  they  deem  more  suitable  for  his  preparation  and 
purpose.  However,  in  so  far  as  it  is  practicable  and  for  the  welfare  of 
the  student,  the  selection  of  the  course  rests  with  the  student  himself. 
The  various  members  of  the  faculty  are  at  all  times  glad  to  consult  with 
.the  students  about  their  work. 

Summer  School  Credits  are  of  equal  value  with  the  credits  made  in 
equal  time  in  the  regular  year’s  work. 

The  Unit. — This  institution  gives  the  term  unit  the  rating  deter- 
mined by  the  “High-school  Board  of  Examiners,”  which  is  as  follows:  A 
subject  requiring  outside  preparation,  reciting  five  forty-five-minute  peri- 
ods per  week  for  thirty-six  consecutive  weeks.  A subject  requiring  out- 
side preparation,  reciting  five  forty-five-minute  periods  per  week  for  ten 
weeks,  gives  one-fourth  unit  credit. 

The  Hour. — The  rating  of  subjects  of  college  rank  is  based  upon  the 
standard  that  a subject  requiring  the  minimum  outside  preparation  and 
reciting  four  fifty-five-minute  periods  per  week  for  one  semester  give6 
four  hours  credit,  or  for  one  term,  two  hours  credit. 

One- year  State  Certificate. — A One-year  State  Certificate  is  granted 
"by  this  institution  to  graduates  of  our  secondary  course  who  have  credits 
in  the  various  subjects  required  in  that  course,  and  in  addition  to  the 
fifteen  units  have  the  one  additional  unit  of  professional  work;  or  to 
graduates  of  an  accredited  four-year  high  school  who  shall  have  taken

the  work  in  any  term  of  the  year  are  entitled  at  once  to  the  legal  privi- 
leges incident  to  graduation,  but,  except  those  completing  work  in  July,

usually  issued  at  the  June  commencement.  Students  completing  the  work 
in  July  will  be  listed  with  the  class  of  the  preceding  June.  The  roll  of 
the  class  for  graduation  is  made  up  at  the  beginning  of  the  fifth  term, 
nine  weeks  prior  to  commencement,  and  all  work  except  such  as  is  in- 
cluded on  the  class  permit  for  that  term  must  be  completed  by  that  time 
in  order  that  students  may  be  listed  for  graduation  with  the  class.  Candi-

commencement  exercises  in  June.

completion  of  this  four-year  Teacher’s  College  course  entitles  the  stu- 
dent to  a degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Education.  The  degree  has 
the  same  legal  force  as  a life  certificate  and  is  not  granted  for  less  thant 
a year’s  resident  work. 

Special  Certificates. — The  1915  legislature  passed  a law  empowering: 
this  Normal  School  to  grant  special  certificates  for  Manual  Training,  Do- 
mestic Science,  Agriculture,  Commercial  Subjects,  Drawing,  Music,  or 
other  occupational  subjects  upon  the  completion  of  such  course  of  study 
as  may  be  prescribed  by  the  faculty  and  approved  by  the  State  Board  of 
Administration.  These  certificates  are  legal  teacher’s  certificates  and 
entitle  the  holder  to  teach  these  special  subjects  in  the  public  schools  of 
the  state  of  Kansas. 

Positions  for  Students. — All  students  of  the  Normal  School  have  the 
services  of  the  “Committee  on  Positions”  to  help  in  securing  desirable 
positions.  This  committee  makes  no  charge  for  its  services.  School 
boards,  principals,  and  superintendents  are  constantly  calling  on  thema 
for  teachers.  Students  desiring  the  services  of  this  committee  may  en- 
roll on  the  blanks  without  any  obligation  on  their  part. 

Special  Features  of  the  Summer  School. — The  Elsie  Herndon  Kerns 
Woodland  Players  are  engaged  to  give  us  two  days  of  Shakespearean  and 
other  classic  plays.  This  is  a company  of  twenty-five  players  of  national 
reputation. 

Dr.  A.  E.  Winship,  of  Boston,  will  be  with  us  two  days  for  a series 
of  lectures.

COURSES  OFFERED. 

EDUCATION. 

The  Department  of  Education  will  offer  courses  in  psychology,  methods, 
school  administration,  secondary  education,  rural  school  administration, 
history  of  education,  philosophy  of  education,  sociology,  primary  methods, 
methods  in  the  common  branches,  and  observation  and  practice  in  the 
Training  School. 

Those  who  wish  to  specialize  in  primary  work  will  find  the  work  of  the 
course  in  primary  methods  correlated  with  the  model  kindergarten  and 
primary  school  in  a most  practical  and  helpful  way. 

Candidates  for  the  state  certificates  issued  by  the  Normal  School,  or 
for  the  B.  S.  degree,  will  have  exceptional  opportunities  for  work  suited  to 
their  needs  during  the  summer  term,  since  more  courses  in  education  will 
be  offered  during  the  summer  term  than  in  other  single  terms  during  the 
year.  The  department  will  endeavor  to  meet  the  especial  needs  of  teachers 
in  the  field  who  find  it  possible  to  attend  summer  terms  only. . 

HOME  ECONOMICS. 


The  Domestic  Art  Department  offers  the  teachers  of  western  Kansas 
special  advantages  for  this  summer.  It  is  the  hope  of  the  Normal  School 
that  the  rural  teachers  particularly  will  become  interested  in  this  phase  of 
education,  as  a knowledge  of  handwork  will  go  far  toward  interesting  the 
girls  of  the  rural  school.  There  will  be  classes  for  the  making  of  under- 
garments, a wash  dress,  fancy  dress,  wool  skirt,  and  tailored  shirt  waist, 
a class  in  embroidery,  crocheting,  tatting  and  fancy  stitches.

Course  52. — Presentation  of  domestic  art. 


The  Domestic  Science  Department  offers  courses  to  meet  the  needs  of 
the  Summer  School  students. 

Courses  A and  B.  The  plan  of  this  work  is  based  upon  the  food 
principles.  An  adaptation  of  the  “meal  method”  is  used,  both  for  the 
purpose  of  reviewing  processes  of  cooking  and  also  for  gaining  skill  and 
speed  in  the  preparation  of  several  foods  at  the  same  time.  The  work 
covers  the  three  meals,  breakfast,  dinner,  and  supper. 

Courses  1 and  2.  These  courses  include  food  study,  experimental 
cookery,  and  table  setting  and  serving  of  meals. 

Course  4. — Horne  Nursing.  This  course  will  be  organized  with  a special 
desire  to  meet  the  needs  of  teachers,  since  they  have  in  their  charge  the 
physical  as  well  as  the  mental  and  moral  welfare  of  their  pupils,  hirst 
aid,  emergencies,  how  to  detect  and  prevent  infectious  diseases,  how  to 


Summer  School  Bulletin,  May,  1917.

recognize  anemia,  malnutrition,  and  improper  development  in  children, 
will  be  some  of  the  questions  studied. 

Course  8.  A special  course  in  fruit,  vegetables,  meat  canning  and 
the  making  of  jellies,  arranged  especially  for  Summer  School  students. 

MANUAL  TRAINING. 

The  fact  that  so  many  artisans  are  induced  to  go  into  factory  work  as 
soon  as  they  have  acquired  a modicum  of  skill,  and  that  many  manual- 
training teachers  are  called  to  more  profitable  positions  in  constructive 
work,  are  reasons  for  the  popularity  of  this  work.  The  open  door  is  ready 
for  those  who  want  positions  either  as  teachers  of  manual  arts  or  as 
workers  in  the  world’s  field  of  skilled  industry.  The  student  seeking  en- 
trance here  is  urged  to  begin  with  mechanical  drawing.  The  course  in 
farm  drafting,  offered  in  the  spring  term,  will  be  offered  again  in  the 
summer.  This  is  an  advanced  course,  adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  rural 
•community  life,  suitable  for  the  consideration  of  those  handling  such 
classes  in  village,  Barnes,  or  county  high  schools.

ments of  geometric  drawing,  orthographic  projection,  blue-printing,  etc.

to  lay  off  work;  in  what  order  the  construction  should  be  carried  for- 
ward, and  the  best  way  to  use  tools  and  how  to  care  for  them.  Models 
suitable  for  carrying  into  the  grades  for  students  to  copy  will  be  made. 

Course  51. — Theory  and  Practice  and  Administration  of  Manual 
Training  has  been  considered  a strong  course,  winning  good  positions 
for  those  who  have  taken  it  in  past  years.  It  will  be  offered  in  the  sum- 
mer. Those  having  some  experience  in  teaching  or  desiring  credit  in  the 
school  of  education  or  having  had  elementary  woodworking  are  eligible 
to  this  class. 

Course  3. — Farm  Drafting.  Rural  architecture  applying  to  farm  and 
public  purposes. 

Course  4. — Joinery  and  Practical  Carpentry.  This  is  known  as  the

Fort  Hays  Kansas  Normal  School. 


Course  9. — Public  Speaking.  Debate,  oratory  and  public  discussion. 

Course  10. — Story-telling.  This  course  is  designed  to  meet  the  peeds

obtained.

not  from  textbooks. 

Course  14. — Dramatic  Coaching.  High-school  plays,  work  in  stage 
management,  make-up,  reading  of  plays. 

HISTORY. 

This  department  offers  special  courses  in  history  and  civics  for  the 
teacher  during  the  summer  term  of  1916.  The  newer  type  of  history 
teaching  is  to  get  the  facts  which  have  meaning  and  interpretative  value 
for  present-day  needs.  We  are  a democracy,  and  “the  people”  is  the 
center  of  interest  in  every  respect.  Heretofore  the  deeds  of  kings,  war- 
riors and  nobles  received  the  chief  attention  of  the  historian.  That  has 
passed ; the  study  of  the  struggle  of  the  common  man  has  come  to  its  own. 
The  elaborate  descriptions  of  cathedrals,  palaces,  pyramids  and  old  tombs 
are  unimportant  as  compared  to  the  record  of  the  joys  and  sorrows,  the 
hopes  and  achievements  of  the  masses.  The  aim  in  teaching  history  and 
civics  is  good  citizenship — one’s  duty  to  himself,  his  relation  to  his 
neighbor,  to  the  community,  to  the  state,  to  the  nation,  and  to  the  world. 

Course  A. — American  History. 

Course  G. — Modern  History. 

Course  1. — American  History. 

Course  6. — English  History. 

Course  7. — Rural  Life. 

Special  emphasis  will  be  given  to  methods,  the  European  war,  the 
Mexican  trouble  and  current  events  in  all  these  courses. 

COMMERCE. 

Bookkeeping.  Typewriting. 

MATHEMATICS. 

As  nearly  as  possible,  courses  will  be  arranged  in  mathematics  to 
meet  the  requirements  of  the  Summer  Session  students.  Classes  wili 
be  maintained  in  the  following  courses: 

Arithmetic.  A review  of  the  entire  subject  will  be  given,  placing  em- 
phasis upon  the  more  difficult  topics. 

Beginning  Algebra.  This  is  a class  for  beginners  in  the  subject.  The 
fundamental  operations,  factoring,  and  simple  equations  will  be  studied. 

Advanced  Algebra.  The  more  difficult  parts  of  high-school  algebra  are 
reviewed,  with  more  intensive  study  of  the  underlying  principles  of  the 
subject. 

Plane  Geometry. 

Solid  Geometry.  « 

College  Algebra. 

Trigonometry.
